Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 102 Zhu Zhuqing: Su Cheng, how about becoming my underling?

After enjoying a lavish aristocratic lunch in the cafeteria, Su Cheng got up and prepared to leave.

But just as he stood up, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

It was Zhang San San, an "old friend" I hadn't seen in a long time.

He didn't pay any attention and stepped aside, preparing to walk past.

To everyone's surprise, the other party moved slightly and blocked their way again.

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "A good dog doesn't block the way."

"Do you own this cafeteria? Can't I stand here?"

Zhang San San looked over with a provocative expression.

Su Cheng was too lazy to argue with him and reached out to push him away.

"What are you trying to do? Young Master Su is really domineering. Does he think everyone has to make way for him?"

"Um?"

Only then did he realize that the other party seemed to have come prepared today.

Although this guy has occasionally made some provocative moves in the past, he would never dare to be so blatant.

A thought suddenly crossed my mind.

A glance around revealed that many people were silently watching them.

There are now quite a few people who are associated with Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhang San San is one of them.

Zhu Zhuqing herself was sitting quietly eating alone not far away, with no one sitting next to her.

She didn't even look at what was happening here.

But clearly, she is involved in today's incident.

As more people noticed the conflict between Su Cheng and Zhang Sansan, many more people gathered around them.

Su Cheng's mind immediately became clear as a mirror.

On the surface, she feigned ignorance, feigning surprise, and said, "Huh, what's going on here? San San, you've got some nerve lately. Are you getting cocky? Doesn't your face hurt anymore?"

Zhang Sansan's face turned pale upon hearing this.

He has always regarded being slapped twice in public as the greatest humiliation of his life.

Now that Su Cheng had brought it up in public, he was immediately filled with rage.

"you!"

But when his gaze met Su Cheng's eyes, which were as cold as an icy pool, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He's no longer a clueless little kid.

More than a year ago, his opponent could easily injure him, while he couldn't even see his opponent's movements clearly.

Their innate soul power levels are similar, and their cultivation talents are not far apart, so I probably wouldn't be their match now.

"laugh……"

Seeing this, Su Cheng sneered and walked straight ahead.

Zhang San was instantly enraged by his nonchalant attitude.

The promise Zhu Zhuqing made flashed through his mind, and his courage surged forth. He once again stood in front of him.

"Is this never going to end?"

Su Cheng frowned and raised his arm to gently clench his fist.

"You dare to beat up a classmate in public?!"

Seeing his gesture, Zhang Sansan's eyes twitched and he shouted sharply.

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow, but didn't speak. He flashed forward and said, "So what if I hit you!"

He did not use the method of interrupting pulse and replenishing qi this time.

However, based solely on cultivation level, his speed far surpasses that of Zhang San San.

Zhang San could only dodge slightly, but found that he could not avoid the attack at all. He could only watch in despair as the fist got closer and closer to his face, and closed his eyes helplessly.

Suddenly, a fair hand reached out from the side and blocked Su Cheng's punch.

Su Cheng calmly turned his head to look at the person who had come in.

This was clearly not unexpected for him.

"Oh, who do we have here? No wonder you dare to bark at me like that, so you've found a backer. What, is your Zhang family going to become the Zhu family's dogs?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sansan's face instantly turned bright red.

His eyes were practically spitting fire as he stared intently at Su Cheng.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Saying such things in public is not in line with Su Cheng's usual character.

Has he become too arrogant?

These words, seemingly intended to sow discord between her and Zhang Sansan, were actually more detrimental to Su Cheng himself.

Zhang San San is her dog?

What about Su Cheng's men? Are they just dogs for the Su family?

A fleeting glance.

Sure enough, among the onlookers, a few of them looked slightly unnatural.

For a moment, the scene became quiet and deserted.

"Su Cheng, don't say such harsh things."

Zhu Zhuqing's clear, cool voice, which also contained a unique and melodious charm, broke the slightly awkward atmosphere in the restaurant.

"Since we are friends, helping each other is simply our duty."

"Help?" Su Cheng squinted, looking Zhu Zhuqing up and down. "Why should I? You want to stand up for him, but do you have the ability?"

"Verbal arguments are meaningless. Whether someone has the ability or not, let's see how they perform with their hands," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly.

"Interesting, very interesting." Su Cheng suddenly chuckled. "It's only been a few days, but you've really impressed me. I remember you used to be so bad at speaking."

He crossed his arms, leaned back against the dining table, and said mockingly, "Miss Zhu, how do you plan to prove yourself to me?"

"Three months from now, let's have a duel between Soul Masters. Do you dare?"

"Three months?" Su Cheng was slightly taken aback.

The plan he set for Zhu Zhuqing still had more than half a year left, so why did this girl speed things up on her own?

Moreover, it's the most direct, effective, but also the riskiest method: a duel.

Did she not consider that she might lose?

The most fundamental way to resolve all conflicts between Soul Masters is to rely on strength.

It's perfectly normal for students to challenge each other to duels.

Moreover, this is a fair and just competition in front of a large audience. The winner will be determined by their strength, so there's not much more to say.

At this moment, Su Cheng was simply finding it difficult to refuse, but by no means unable to refuse.

Because this duel is unfair.

For Zhu Zhuqing, losing was no loss at all, as she had always been overshadowed by Su Cheng in the academy.

Even though they are showing signs of gaining momentum, they are still far behind Su Cheng.

But for Su Cheng, losing to Zhu Zhuqing would obviously damage his prestige.

Actually, the best approach at this point is to simply find any excuse to refuse.

Although he might feel a little timid, he could easily defuse the awkward situation with his skills, without any lingering consequences.

The two of them were already outwardly like strangers.

Apart from the time at the start of the semester, there haven't been any confrontational incidents in front of outsiders.

Su Cheng was somewhat surprised at this moment.

He didn't tell Zhu Zhuqing what to do; he left her to figure it out herself.

Unexpectedly, the other party chose this seemingly simple and direct, but actually most effective, method.

Of course, this is all predicated on her winning.

You've definitely grown...

Su Cheng smiled, gazed at Zhu Zhuqing, and fell silent.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was also a little nervous.

She didn't know if Su Cheng would accept her challenge.

If I don't agree, it will be difficult to fulfill my father's request this year.

After a long silence, Su Cheng slowly nodded.

A meaningful smile appeared on his face. "Okay, I promise you."

As the matter settled down, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Su Cheng also walked out of the restaurant on his own.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing caught up with him alone.

Su Cheng turned around and looked over.

Zhu Zhuqing stopped in front of him, her face gentle and her eyes like autumn water.

"Su Cheng, I don't want to make things difficult for you. But San San is my friend, and I can't embarrass him."

"What do you mean?" Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "You just declared war on me, and now you're coming to explain some nonsense?"

"That's not what I meant." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, looking serious. "I know you're not actually a true member of the Su family. You possess the White Tiger Martial Soul and have royal blood flowing through your veins."

Su Cheng's face darkened. "Are you here to laugh at me?"

"What right do I have to laugh at you?" A bitter smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold face. "You know the bloody traditions of the Zhu family and the royal family. If I lose in the competition for the heir, how tragic the end will be. I just think you must be just as unwilling as I am, right?"

"What's wrong? Now that Miss Fourth is incredibly powerful and has gained a lot of admirers, she's starting to get arrogant and want to lecture me?" Su Cheng said calmly.

"No," Zhu Zhuqing denied seriously. "I was too naive and thought too simply in the past. When we first met, I hit you too hard and accidentally injured you. I should apologize to you."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng silently observed Zhu Zhuqing for a long time.

This little girl has finally learned to wear a mask.

Zhu Zhuqing herself should know better than anyone whether she hit hard or not, so it's quite surprising that she's coming over to apologize with such sincerity.

First, he declared war on himself in front of everyone to establish his authority and fulfill his responsibilities as a leader.

Then, privately, he came to explain and show goodwill to me, and used words to bring us closer.

In this way, her dignity would not be diminished, nor would she harbor any resentment, thus laying the groundwork for future cooperation between the two parties.

It even reversed the initial impression that she had always had in many people's minds—that she was weak and easily bullied.

She really knew how to use these little tricks.

But the prerequisite is that she must be able to overcome herself in three months.

Su Cheng didn't mind giving her this opportunity.

But we don't plan to release too much water at that time.

Whether she can seize this opportunity depends on herself.

"...Okay, I think I understand what you mean."

Su Cheng stretched and his tone returned to its previous nonchalant manner.

"I won't play mind games with you. You're right, I am an unwanted illegitimate child. If you can beat me in the battle three months from now, I'll take the gamble with you. I hope you won't disappoint me."

After saying that, he ignored Zhu Zhuqing and turned to leave.

"...Su Cheng, you deliberately gave me this chance today, didn't you?"

After he had taken a few steps, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"You must be dissatisfied with the status quo too, right?"

Su Cheng paused only slightly before leaving without looking back.

This simulation won't last too long, because I'm currently the strongest writer below 10,000 words a day, updating 8,000-9,000 words daily! The simulation will end no later than next week, after which the main storyline of the chaotic battlefield will begin~
